When they reached the shore, they saw Li Yiru staring at the lake in a daze. Wang Xiaohu called out from behind her,"Yiru…"
Li Yiru woke up and turned around."" Brother Hu…Sister Su…Sister Su…She…" Li Yiru's eyes were red as well, and she looked very sad.
"Yeah, I know…Yiru, don't be sad. Maybe Miss Su just drifted somewhere else and can't find us for the time being…" Wang Xiaohu said.
"But I asked Yang Xiao to search the nearby lake, but he didn't find anything…"
Wang Xiaohu was stunned. Li Yiru continued,"Brother Hu, Sister Su is such a good person. Why did she encounter such a thing? Why? Brother Hu!"
Wang Xiaohu did not know how to answer. Li Yiru said,"Brother Hu, who is that big bastard who capsized our boat and caused everyone to fall into the water? I must go and settle the score with him!"
"Yiru, Brother Hu just asked…that isn't an opponent we can deal with!" Wang Xiaohu said. He was the banner bearer of the fiend race, the number one expert among the fiend race!”
"Hmph, what's so great about that?" Li Yiru said. Since he's so powerful, I'll ask my father…but…there's no Sister Su to bring me to Mount Shu to find my father!”
Wang Xiaohu felt sad again. Li Yiru said,"Brother Hu, if it wasn't for Sister Su who saved me at Moon Liangshan, I might have lost my life long ago…"
"Yeah…"
"Yes, and when Sister Su found out that I lost my way in the mountains because I missed my father, she hugged me tightly and cried with me for a long, long time…She's really a very, very good person…"
" Yes, in Miss Su's eyes, she often shows a very sad expression. Perhaps she has some painful past..."
"Furthermore, when that evil Senior Sister of the Xianxia Sect wanted to kill Yun 'er's father, it was Sister Su who was the first to bravely step forward and protect them! She's kinder than anyone else!"
"Um…I understand, Yiru…"
" Sister Su..." Li Yiru ran to the shore and looked at the lake sadly.
"Yiru…?" Wang Xiaohu whispered.”
"Brother Hu, are there gods in this lake?" Li Yiru asked.”
"Yes, there should be."
Li Yiru immediately said to the surface of the lake," Uncle God of the lake, if you have a spirit, you must bless Sister Su to be safe and sound…As long as Sister Su is safe and sound, I will definitely do more good deeds to repay you…" As Li Yiru prayed, waves were stirred up on the surface of the lake. It turned out to be the power of Li Yiru's Nuwa Clan.
Everyone gathered in front of the pool where Penglai was. Wang Xiaohu said to Penglai,"Senior Penglai, thank you for saving us. We should also take our leave!”
"Farewell?" Penglai was startled. Didn't your ship sink long ago?"
"We've collected some leftover wooden planks and can make them into rafts…" Wang Xiaohu said.
"Forget it, forget it. Why go through so much trouble?" Penglai said. Where are you going? Tell me, and I'll drive you there!”
"Really, old senior Penglai?" Wang Xiaohu said happily.”
Penglai said,"You all helped me pull out the thorns, so I'll help you with this little effort!"”
"Thank you, Senior Penglai!" Wang Xiaohu said. Senior's effortless effort has helped us a lot!”
"Hehe, where is your destination?" Penglai laughed.”
"We're planning to go to Jingzhou!" Wang Xiaohu said. That was because there was going to be a martial arts world demon-slaying meeting there.”
"Alright, it's a small matter!" Penglai said repeatedly. It was a small matter! I'll take you to Jingzhou!"
"Oh right, Senior…" Wang Xiaohu said,"The thing that was stabbed into your back was an ancient sword. We're returning it to you."”
"Why did you give me that irritating thing?" Penglai asked. Keep it for yourselves!"
"But…this is a famous sword!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"If you don't want it, then give it to the little girl who went with you to remove my thorn." Anyway, you don't have to return it to me!"
"Yes, I understand. Since I don't know how to use a sword, I'll give it to Qi Qi!”Hence, Wang Xiaohu gave the sword to Shen Diashuang. Shen Diashuang was very happy and thanked him,""Thank you, Senior Penglai!"
"Alright, then let me take you to Jingzhou!" Penglai said. Let's go."
Just like that, Penglai carried everyone to Jingzhou smoothly. After everyone disembarked, they bid farewell to Penglai and set off together. Soon, they arrived at the city gate. "So this is Jingzhou City?" Li Yiru asked. Unfortunately, Sister Su didn't come with us…"
Li Lingyun then said," Everyone, we originally had an appointment with Eldest Senior Sister to meet in Jing State City today. We have been delayed for quite some time on the way. Please allow us to take our leave first. We will meet again at the Martial Arts Circle Convention later."”
Yu Nansong said," This Martial Arts Circle Convention should have started before noon. It's already past noon, so I think it's been going on for a while." Since it's already late, why don't you let me take you directly to the venue?”
"We have to go to the inn first and see if Senior Sister and Junior Sister are still waiting for us there!" Li Lingyun said.”
"Big Brother Yu, why don't you go with the three swordswomen of Xianxia Sect to look for their senior sisters first?" Wang Xiaohu said. After all, we came to Jing State to see if big brother Xiao Yao has come to Jing State. So I can go to the venue with Yiru.”
"Hmm, that's true…" Yu Nansong said.
"Alright, then Young Master Yu, please come with us!" Li Lingyun said. We're leaving, Junior Sister!" "Yes, Second Senior Sister."”They headed towards the inn together.
Wang Xiaohu said to Li Yiru,"Yiru, the venue is at the top of the Temple of Heaven in the city. Let's go there too!" "I hope I'll be lucky enough to meet Brother Xiaoyao…" The two of them immediately set off in another direction.
After entering the city, they met a child named Ah Lu. He was talking about the angel scroll. Wang Xiaohu had heard a lot about the scroll along the way, so he went up to Ah Lu to ask. Ah Lu asked him,"Brother, do you know who Fufang is?”
"Fu Fang? I've never heard of this name."
"Master Fufang became famous because of the angel album! However, because he was too famous, Master Fu Fang's manuscript was stolen.”
"There's actually such a thing? Stealing is the behavior of a villain. If I catch you, I won't let you off easily!”
Ah Lu said that his mother did not allow him to talk too much with strangers, so he left in a hurry.
The two of them continued to walk forward. Who knew that a scholar would accidentally bump into them. It turned out that this scholar was only focused on reading and did not see them. Li Yiru said,"Little brother, my father said that reading while walking will hurt your eyes.”
The scholar said," Thank you for your reminder, little sister. I also know that reading like this is not good, but in order to pass the exam, I have no choice but to do this."”
"Little brother, are you going to take an exam?"
"That's right! My mother spent her entire life earning money for me to study, hoping that I would be more promising than my father.”
"Is your father that useless?"
"I'm not sure myself. Mother said that Father is fighting and killing in the martial world and doesn't do his job properly. She told me not to be like Father in the future.”
"But your father might be helping the weak?”
"I also think that Father is actually very heroic! Sigh, it's better to listen to mother!" He apologized to the two of them and continued to walk forward with the book in his hands.
When the two of them passed by the north gate, they suddenly heard a pleasant song. Li Yiru said,"What a beautiful voice!" It turned out that this beautiful song came from this girl in blue.
Li Yiru said,"This singing is really beautiful. Don't you think so, Brother Hu?" However, why did he feel that this song seemed to be saying something?”
At this moment, he heard the blue-clothed girl say,""Autumn Flute mourned and lamented, and her soft words continued to forget her worries. I love you, I choose my wife, I cut off my kindness and righteousness, I sing for you.”
"Brother Hu, what is she singing? Why can't I understand?" Li Yiru asked.”
The blue-clothed girl hummed a tune again before stopping. "Sister, what song are you singing?" Li Yiru asked.”
The blue-clothed girl quickly turned around and said,""Aiya, this is really embarrassing! I'm just casually humming a tune. I've embarrassed myself!”
"Sister, you're being humble. We stopped to admire your singing."”
" Fantasy Song likes to run to the lakeside," the blue-clothed girl said." Sitting there and admiring the scenery is also very comfortable! Sometimes he hummed a tune, and sometimes he played the flute to express his feelings. I always thought that playing the flute by the water could be heard by those who were concerned in the distance.”
When Wang Xiaohu heard her refer to herself as "Fantasy Song", he immediately remembered something and said,"You're Fantasy Song? Do you have a sister called Huanmeng in Shengyu Village?”
"Sister?" Fantasy Song was stunned. What's wrong?"
"Your sister is fine, but she's worried about you!" Wang Xiaohu said. He even gave this flute to us, hoping that we can give it to you!”As he spoke, he took out a flute and handed it to Fantasy Song.
Fantasy Song looked at the flute and couldn't help but sigh." Sister…" Then, she said to the two of them,""Thank you for the information about my sister. Two years ago, the person I loved, Bai Yun, came to find me under the urging of my flute. Therefore, I have always believed that he is the person I can rely on in the future. I followed him to Jingzhou. When life was finally about to settle down, Bai Yun said that he had to leave this place and not leave anything behind.”
"Bai Yun…Bai Yun…I think I have a letter about him!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"Bai Yun's letter?"
Wang Xiaohu took out the letter the little boy from Bihu Village had given him and handed it to Fantasy Song. He said,"This was given to us by a little brother. He mentioned that this was given to him by a person called Bai Yun.”
Fantasy Song hurriedly opened the letter. After reading the contents, she couldn't help but sigh."Sigh, I am who I should be. It is useless to force me if I shouldn't. When Bai Yun came to find me, I knew that there was a girl waiting for him in my hometown. I like Bai Yun very much, so I wanted to stay by his side. Every day she spent with him was very happy! Actually, I know that he has always had that girl in his heart. If it were me, I wouldn't have dared to mention it myself. In the end, Bai Yun still chose her. This was something I had long prepared in my heart. Although Bai Yun has left, I still wish him happiness! After all, the beautiful memories were built by Bai Yun and me! There's no point in keeping this thing with me. Why don't I give it to you? Take it as a way to thank you for your kindness to Fantasy Song.”As he spoke, he gave the flute to the two of them.
"No, this is what I promised them!"”
" But it's also because of this that I've thought about everything clearly," Fantasy Song said." You have to accept it no matter what."”
Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to accept it. Then, he bid farewell to Fantasy Song and continued to rush to the venue of the Demon Slayers Assembly. However, after walking for a while, she suddenly met a cute puppy. Li Yiru squatted down to play with it, but after the puppy circled around Li Yiru, it ran away. When Li Yiru got up and was about to leave, she found that the money bag on her body was missing. Wang Xiaohu asked her if she had lost it on the way, so the two of them turned around to look.
After walking for a while, she bumped into the puppy from before. Li Yiru immediately said,"Brother Hu, do you think my money bag was bitten by this dog?”
"No way!"
At this moment, an old man walked over with the puppy and asked,""You guys dropped money too?"
"Yeah, right after we saw a cute little dog."”
"Sigh, that must be our Pipi!" the old man said.”
"What do you mean?"
"Pi Pi was originally wandering on the streets. I took pity on it and raised it by my side. It was actually very obedient, but it had a bad habit.”
"Dogs have bad habits too?" Li Yiru asked.”
"Of course! It would do small things to people who approached it. Last time, Aunt Li was missing a bun, and Young Master Li was missing a jade ornament. There were many other examples. This time you're missing a purse, it must be this!”As he spoke, the old man lowered his head and said to the puppy,""Pi Pi, why can't you teach me? I just went to the store to buy something and left it outside. That's all.”
"Uncle, it's okay. Forget it. It's just a dog!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"I'm sorry for not being taught." The old man said.”
"Uncle, it's okay!"
The old man returned the money bag to the two of them and apologized again and again. Wang Xiaohu and Li Yiru did not blame them. They took the money bag and turned to leave. After delaying so much time, the two of them could only speed up their pace and rush to the venue.
The Temple of Heaven was five to six stories tall. The entire temple was made of wooden planks, and the venue was set on the top of the altar. There were martial artists and Great Mercy Sacred Sect disciples guarding the landing on every floor. Wang Xiaohu and Li Yiru quickly went up the altar. When they reached the top of the altar, they saw that there were many people there. There were all kinds of martial artists.?
"Ah, so many people…" Li Yiru said.
" Yes," Wang Xiaohu said." This time's Martial Arts Righteous Path Demon-Slaying Conference was convened by Big Brother Yu and the Great Mercy Sacred Sect. Master Qian Ye has a reputation in the martial arts world, which is why so many sects have come."”
At this moment, Li Yiru saw the Lord of the Shen Castle, Shen Qingfeng, and his son, Shen Qi, in the crowd and said,""Humph humph, that annoying father and son of the Shen family are here too!”
Wang Xiaohu said," Don't be like this, Yiru. He's a hero in the martial arts world and Qiqi's father. You can't be too rude!"”
Li Yiru noticed the people from the Xianxia Sect in another group of people and said,"Ah, Sister Shen and the others actually arrived earlier than us! However, I still don't seem to see Father…"
"Yiru, don't look around first. Brother Hu will look with you later." Master Qianye is talking to everyone now. Let's listen quietly first.”
Li Yiru had no choice but to say," Okay, alright…" Thus, the two of them walked into the crowd. Everyone quieted down and listened to Zen Master Qianye.
Zen Master Qian Ye said," Thank you for your kindness. You have elected me as the leader of the righteous path of the martial arts world!" As you all know, ever since the collapse of Mount Shu's Shifter Sealing Pagoda, demons and devils have appeared. In recent years, the demons have expanded their power wantonly, posing a serious threat to the survival of the human world! Previously, the Immortal Yang Sect of Qingcheng Mountain had been attacked by the demons, and the entire sect had been massacred! The entire Snow Cliff Sect of Mount Kunlun had also been annihilated by the demons. Not a single one was left alive! The father of my disciple, Nan Song, the hero of China, Yu Chengzong, was also attacked by the demons many years ago, and his entire family was wiped out. He was the only one left…During the funeral of the second sect master of Luoyang's Orthodox Sword Sect, he was also attacked by the demons openly, and more than 300 members of the sect were killed or injured! Therefore, protecting the Dao and eliminating the demons is already a heavy responsibility that we martial artists of the righteous path cannot shirk from now on! I hope that all the righteous martial artists will help me in the future!”
The martial artists below said,""That's right, if this continues, we will truly be exterminated by the demons!”
"That's right. If we don't unite, who knows who will be the next sect to be sacrificed!”
"That's why we elected Master Qian Ye to be the future leader of the martial arts world's demon-slaying alliance!”
"Let's work together and kill all the demons!”
Zen Master Qian Ye chanted the name of Buddha and said,""Amitabha. Although we martial artists should be united, we shouldn't kill people! Everyone, please remember that in the future, we will use the righteous path to fight against the demonic path. If not, how are we different from the demons?”
The martial artists echoed,"You're right. Zen Master Qianye is indeed merciful!"?”
"From now on, under the leadership of Master Qian Ye, we will use the righteous path to resist the evil path of the demons!”
"Let them know that the righteous path of the martial arts world is different from them!”
"That's right, let them know the true strength of our orthodox sects!”
" Everyone," Shen Qingfeng said," Master Qian Ye is willing to step forward and lead us to fight against the demons. This is the fortune of the martial arts world!" This Shen once again congratulates the martial arts world!"
"That's right, that's right," everyone said in unison.”
"This is all thanks to Fort Master Shen's recommendation back then!”
"Under the leadership of Master, I believe that the great cause of eliminating demons will be accomplished in the future!”
Zen Master Qian Ye said," Good, good. I wouldn't dare." In the future, I will rely on your encouragement and assistance to exterminate the demons! Whether evil will prevail over good will depend on the efforts of everyone and me in the future!”
"Since Master Qian Ye is the alliance leader, I believe that the final victory will belong to the righteous path! It's getting late. Let's invite Master Qian Ye to carry out the final flag sacrifice ceremony of the Xi Alliance!”
"Everyone, the token we're offering to the flag this time is the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pearl. This Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pearl was on par with the Five Calamity Demon Awl and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Flower. It was said to be one of the three great treasures of the demon race and had the divine effect of returning souls. I believe that these three Demon Artifacts have a lot to do with the Demon Race's recent rampage. They seem to be plotting something…but we don't know yet…I'm still investigating. In the past, this bead was kept by the Great Swordsman Yu Chengzong. Unexpectedly, his family was destroyed by the demons because of this. My disciple Nan Song is the son of the Great Swordsman Yu Chengzong. He handed this bead to me for safekeeping until now. I have just sent my guardian disciples to bring it up from the altar as a tribute to the flag and vow. They haven't returned yet, so please wait for a while.”
Everyone continued," Hehe, we're using one of the three supreme treasures of the demon race, the Soul Returning Pearl, as a sacrifice to the flag. If those demons know about this, they'll definitely be terrified!"”
"Yeah, haha!"
"However, Master Qian Ye's disciple seems to have been gone for a long time.”
When Thousand Leaves Zen Master heard what the people below said, he found it strange. He called out to a disciple,""Riding Kindness!"
"Disciple is here!"
"Just now, I ordered the three protectors to bring the wooden box containing the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pearl up. It's been an hour and I haven't seen them! The meeting is about to end. Go to the altar and help me see what's going on.”
"Yes, Master." Cheng Shan immediately went down to check the situation.
Zen Master Qianye then said to everyone,"I'm really sorry to have to make everyone wait for a moment!" After the guardians bring the token to the top of the altar, we will begin the final oath ceremony.”
"Haha, Zen Master Qian Ye is too polite!"”
"Then we will follow Zen Master's instructions and wait for the token to come up.”
After a while, Wang Xiaohu and Li Yiru asked the martial artists in the jar about Li Xiaoyao, but they did not manage to find out anything about him.?The two of them walked over to meet the people from the Xianxia Sect. Shen Diashuang blushed and said to Wang Xiaohu,"Xiao Hu, thank you so much for what you did on the island! Qi Qi still hasn't thanked you properly…"
"Don't be so polite, Qiqi!" Wang Xiaohu blushed.”
"Yes, but…"
"Sister Qiqi, what are you thanking Brother Hu for?" Li Yiru asked. Look, his face is red!"
"Ah…?" Shen Diashuang was stunned.
"Hehe, it must be something interesting!" Li Yiru said. Sister Qiqi, tell me quickly!"
"Yiru, don't bully Qiqi like this!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"Aiyaya, when did I bully Sister Qiqi?" Li Yiru said. On the other hand, Brother Hu didn't know what he was doing. Why was he suddenly nervous? Hehe, there must be a big problem!"
"Ah…?"
"Hehe, did you give yourself away?"
Wang Xiaohu and Shen Diashuang blushed.
